Me too:jawalrus:

but will the wise outweigh the ignorant? Historically the answer is no:yeshrug:

you brehs too emotional

Historically black people have been wise in this country. We built strong, vibrant communities time and time again, but they were destroyed through racist policies and white supremacist mobs. Unlike you, I have complete confidence in black people because I know our history.

I can see that, but if we don't know how to use it then what will it be there for?

Let's not get our ancestors compensation and let it go to waste
I agree with you, and I also think most of us will essentially just hand the paper right back to white folks, but I'd still rather we get it and throw it away than never get it at all. :yeshrug: Enough of us would be smart about it for it to be worth it... but also these CACs would definitely do everything in their power to halt anything positive being done with the money.

A the end of the day though we know we're not getting these reparations, and should be more focused about building our own shyt up than expecting our enemies to do what's right. And then we'd be in the position to DEMAND our reparations back, basically why the Jews get Holocaust reparations for some shyt that doesn't actually have anything to do with America.

Why do black people have to "indirectly" benefit potentially from some agenda?

What can't we get direct and specific agendas addressed and solved

That's how nikkas stay losing. This indirect shyt :dead:
Whites will gobble up all the benefits leaving scraps if any

:laff: great pump fake



:mjpls:

I learned my lesson after voting for Obama in 08. There is no person you can actually get in the Oval Office that has our best interest because if they did cacs wouldn't let them get close to getting in. Having some coworkers big up Bernie I was telling them nah and I'm not voting but I almost fell for it again. I wasn't committed but when I saw the article on the reparations thing it confirmed what I already thought. If he can commit to reparations for Jews and run on a platform with these other radical ideas, why is reparations for Africans beyond comprehension for him? Read this article the other day, it's a pretty good one:

We Absolutely Could Give Reparations To Black People. Here's How.

@bdizzle what are your solutions

Peep the flag in my AVI:

Republic of New Africa (1968- ) | The Black Past: Remembered and Reclaimed

The Republic of New Africa (RNA) is a black nationalist organization that was created in 1969 on the premise that an independent black republic should be created out of the southern United States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, which were considered “subjugated lands.” The group’s manifesto demanded the United States government pay $400 billion in reparations for the injustices of slavery and segregation. It also argued that African-Americans should be allowed to vote on self-determination, as that opportunity was not provided at the end of slavery when the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution incorporated African-Americans into the United States. The economy of the RNA was to be organized based on ujamaa, Tanzania’s model of cooperative economics and community self-sufficiency. Citizens of the proposed RNA would have limited political rights, unions would be discouraged, freedom of the press would be curtailed, men would be forced to serve in the military, and polygamy would be allowed.

Two brothers, Milton and Richard Henry, who were associates of Malcolm X, formed an organization called the Malcolm X Society, which was devoted to the creation of an independent black nation within the United States. Milton and Richard subsequently changed their names to Gaidi Obadele and Imari Abubakari Obadele, respectively. The brothers organized a meeting of 500 black nationalists in Detroit, Michigan in 1968. Exiled former North Carolina NAACP leader Robert Williams was chose as the first Presideint of the Republic of New Africa. The group wrote a declaration of independence and established the Republic of New Africa. The group anticipated that the U.S. would reject their demands and made plans for armed resistance and a prolonged guerilla war.

Both federal and local governments reacted to the RNA with suspicion, and had violent conflicts with the RNA. The RNA was a target of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) COINTELPRO, its antiradical program of surveillance, disruption, and subversion. Detroit police raided the RNA’s first anniversary conference in 1969 and one police officer was killed during the raid. Three RNA members were acquitted of any crimes in this incident. Police in Jackson, Mississippi raided RNA headquarters, and another police officer was killed. Eleven RNA members, including founder Imari Obadele were arrested and convicted for assault, murder, and sedition. Three other members, while driving to RNA headquarters, killed a police officer in New Mexico who had pulled their car over. They subsequently hijacked a plane and escaped to Cuba.

Soon after Imari Obadele was released from prison he and six others were convicted on federal conspiracy charges. He was released in 1980 and went on to earn a Ph.D. from Temple University in political science and has taught at several colleges and written numerous books and articles on black separatism, which he still advocates.

The RNA’s popularity and influence diminished with most of its leaders in prison, but it still claims a membership of 5,000 to 10,000. Its headquarters have been moved to Washington, DC.

Black people only have one option. Separate from white people. We will never be free if we continue allow them to rule over us. We don't need them for shyt. All we need is the ability to govern ourselves without interference from these wicked devils and reparations would be a good first step to us accomplishing that.

Unfortunately we love white people too much to want to separate from them. As always, brother Malcolm is 100% right

I never said ONLY indirect.



What direct and specific agendas were you speaking about?

You don't know anything I don't I guarantee that but the simple facts are, how did things like Tulsa work out?

Group economics correct? Wise spending habits correct? Now are the conditions in the black community the same as they were back then?

All you're doing is just wording yourself to seem like black people can do anything if we put our minds to it, which is 100% true, but our minds aren't in the right place currently, if they were we would see a very different situation for us right now
Guys like you can't fix anything until you address the real issues in our community

I mean what you nikkas are sayin right now is a Large sum of money will solve all of our problems when the issue with our community is a spiritual and mental one which shows me you don't even have a basic understanding of what put us in our circumstances today:upsetfavre:

You would probably have to prove your ancestors were slaves similar to the Native American system they have
I feel like a lot of potential recepients would get screwed if this were the case, I can trace my roots back 5 generations thanks to the record keeping my fam did,

I can trace mines back 4 generations. My great-grandma was a biracial born to a former slave and a sharecropper/former slave owner in Lower Delaware.
